Introduce yourself
A few words of advice to make the most of meeting us:
- Bring a deck – not a business plan. Ideally, include a demo.
- This is early stage investment – your financial projections are mere fantasies; don’t waste time on that. We'll figure it out together.
- The dress code is smart casual – don’t wear shorts, but don’t come overdressed either (unless this is the only way you feel comfortable).
